Chapter 172 171, Wuhuan City
In three months, Wuhuan was already different from when they left.

He walked to the place where his former home was, but the leather yurt was nowhere to be seen. Instead, it was a wooden and stone structure house with a fence surrounding it. It was square, but the fence was a bit high, so he couldn't see what was in the courtyard. .

Asuka stood outside the door and didn't dare to go in. He still couldn't believe that this was his former home?

Compared with the City Lord's Mansion, yes, there, the distance is the same.

Look at the well, it's true, it's the well that I and my comrades once dug, and now there is a woman beside the well that starches and washes clothes, and I still know her, she is the wife of a senior in the Huben Army.

"It's my own home, it's changed too much."

Asuka got closer to the wooden door, raised his hand and knocked twice.

Tuk Tuk.

The joints collided with the wooden door.

A gentle female voice sounded from the courtyard behind the door.

"Who?"

".I, Asuka."

Recognizing his wife's voice, Asuka coughed lightly twice in response.

"The head of the house is back, and I haven't received any notice from you." The door was quickly opened, and what was in front of Asuka's eyes was a flat courtyard. Stone locks for training and some laundry hanging on a line to dry.

On the east side of the courtyard are a few stone benches and stone tables, with a bowl of simple food on them. It can be seen that his wife is having breakfast just now.

The woman's gentle hands helped Asuka share some of the things she brought back, a few sets of navy uniforms and armor used in wartime, but the armor was made of leather, and the chain mail and iron armor had to be stored in the armory.

"It's dark, but it's also strong. I've suffered a lot in the past few months."

The woman sent the things back to the house, and thoughtfully brought a wet towel to wipe off Asuka's sweat.

Asuka hummed, and took it out of his arms: "The training camp is over, and your majesty gave us ten days to rest and take a shower. This is the military salary."

Although he has no real power yet, his status is that he has already served in the army, and he enjoys two grains (made of sixty catties per stone) and six hundred coins in January.

With the current stable price of one hundred and twenty yuan per stone of rice in Wuhuan, his treatment is considered good, and it can even be said to be generous, but it is in exchange for his life.

Compared with the price of rice, the price of meat in Wuhuan Xianbei is much cheaper. Sitting on the Daxing'an Mountains and grasslands, the convenience of obtaining meat in these two places is far easier than that in Han.

A catty of lean meat costs only four renminbi, and fatty meat costs only nine renminbi.

A coin is a copper plate, and Wuhuan's mint has already begun to produce coins made of copper and other metals, all of which are the best ratio after long-term tests by blacksmiths in the world of riding and hacking. .

As the walls of Wuhuan City were about to be capped, all industries in the city were also promoted by Zhang Qi and others. If it weren't for the slightly weird accent in this city, anyone who came here would have to say that this is a town of the Han Dynasty.

And it is also the capital city of a state.

"Hey, then I'll keep it for the head of the family. Since last month, our family's work points have been exchanged for coins. Now we have saved more than 1000 coins under the bed. Including those of the head of the family, there are two thousand coins." It's too late, these days are really getting more practical every day.

The eldest sister and Xiao Lang are also studying well in school. I heard from some teachers nearby that their grades are not bad, and they may all get the "Jun Shang Jin" this year. "

While the woman was doing the housework, she was chattering away. Instead of being bored, Asuka's face showed a warm smile that was completely different from that of the army.

Maybe it's been a long time, the woman was a little thirsty, so she took out a clay pot from the house, poured the clear water from the cup in front of Asuka into the pot, shook it, and poured out a cup of yellow and white milk tea.

Asuka took it and took a sip: "Well, it's delicious, what is this?"

The woman smiled: "This is tea bought from a tea shop on the street. It is boiled with milk. Your Majesty said it is called milk tea. Last time my sister was rewarded at school. Come back and tell me I made it. It tastes good." .”

Asuka nodded: "It's delicious." After drinking a cup of milk tea, Asuka looked at the woman and said, "There are ten days of rest, after ten days, we are going to do a great job for the king, we don't know when we will come back, and As you said beforehand, this operation is extremely dangerous, if.

I mean, if, if I don't come back, then you are looking for one, as long as it is good for the eldest sister and the young man, I have no objections. "

After thinking for a long time, Asuka still told his wife what was in his heart.

Hearing Asuka's words, the woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she also knew that it was impossible to persuade her own man, this was the order of the king, and it was the task of the god.

Dragging the hem of her clothes to wipe the corners of her eyes, the woman forcefully forced a smile: "Hey, I'm all up to you."

After all, the woman seemed to have thought of something, put the clay pot in her hand in front of Asuka, went back to the house, took some coins and went out, and said to Asuka as she walked:
"It's rare for the head of the house to come back. I'll go to the butcher shop on the street to buy some fish and some meat. Does the head of the house want to drink? Now there's also a wine shop. It's two or three dollars and one tael. It's cheap."

"Then buy some and drink some in the evening."

There is a smile on Asuka's dark face. Although life is so trivial, he cherishes such trivialities and enjoys it.

The woman walked out of her small courtyard and disappeared into the street.

Looking down from a height, the towering city main building is located in the middle of Wuhuan. The arc around the city main building is blank, and there is no building at this time.

Four straight avenues connect the four city gates to the circular arc outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Out of the blank arc, there are several circles of well-located houses. The style of the houses is similar to that of the Asuka House. Most of the owners of these houses are the homes of the Huben Army and various officials in the city.

The circle keeps expanding outwards, and various shops and facilities are dotted in the disk like stars.

On the periphery of Yuanpan, the 14-meter-high and 12-meter-thick city wall is extremely majestic. The bottom of the city wall is wide and the top is narrow, and countless ants-like dots are busy on it at the moment.

The city gate tower, the horse face, and the female wall are currently being built by the workers. In almost a year, this ten-kilometer-long city wall is finally about to be completed.

The amount of labor involved was enormous in this era, and the captives who had been plundered in the past now also had their own identity and place of origin, and officially became members of Wuhuan Xianbei.

Their information is recorded in the household registration book, and they have the same rights and obligations as Zeng Jin's herdsmen who followed Zhang Qi.

In the household registration department, an official is currently registering information for a prisoner who has just accumulated enough work points.

During the question and answer period, several messages were written on a piece of paper.

"Okay, your information has been registered, now read it to you."

【Name: Mukada】

【Sex: Male】

[Native place: Group [-], Eighth Street, Wuhuan City, Dawuhuan Mountain, Three Eastern Provinces]

After simply reading the information on the paper to Mukada, the clerk got up and smiled:

"The registration is complete. Congratulations on becoming a citizen with legal rights. I also hope that you can work hard for your own happy life in the future. Now, you can enjoy the corresponding services like ordinary citizens. If you get married, your children can also Enroll normally."

Listening to the clerk's words, two lines of hot tears flowed from the eyes of this former prisoner who had put in great efforts for the walls of Wuhuan City.
